Quick Summary

You can claim tax deductions for both the principal and interest components of your home loan EMI. The principal repayment is deductible under Section 80C, while the interest paid can be claimed as a deduction when calculating your House Property Income under Section 24B. If you've only claimed the principal repayment so far, you can revise your tax return to include the interest deduction as well.

10 February 2021 Your EMI consists of two portions, principal & Interest.
Get a statement from the concerned bank/ loan agency.
It will show the exact break-up of your payments made during the year.
Re-payment of principal of Housing loan is deductible under 80C.
Payment of interest is claimable as deduction while calculating House Property Income.
